The railroad trestle is responsible
for another serious accident-this
time to a passenger train in Tennes-
see. In this connection it may be
remarked that, although winter is
coming on apace, but few railroads
have shown any intention of aban-
doning the stove in the heating of
cars. What the rotten bridges shall
fail to do in the way of deviltry will
doubtless be accomplished by the
stove. A holocaust, a temporary
burst of public indignation, forget
fulness and indifference, and the
juggernaut will roll on.

Platform Tin classic verse;,
'Tm-glad am gentleman's son. "
The son-o -his-father business is
just now being run into the ground,
as it were. In fact, it always is run
into the ground when it is run at
all in this country. In the first
place, it is popularity of nature
that it does not insist upon great
mems sons being great. On the
contrary, if nature has established
any rule in this matter, it is that
the sons of the ablest, most brilliant
and favored men shall be decidedly
mediocre. Perhaps this is to be
Interpreted as natures protest
against the law of heredity, and
the good old DANES declaration in
favor of the chief of Democratic
doctrines. Whatever the cause,
it is certain that only in rare in
stances do the sons of great men in
any of the walks of life equal their
fathers.
In the second place, it is not the
right thing in republic to reward
an unworthy son for what worthy
parent did. All men being equal
in the theory of our government
and before our laws, the son of the
rich and the distinguished are en-
titled to no preference not enjoyed
by the offspring of poor parents.
Merit, not birth, should be recog
nized and rewarded. If we say that
Fred Grant should be placed in Of
flee because he is the son of his faith
GRAND poor, unknown John Smiths
brilliant boy must be held back be-
cause his father was a mere private
in General Grants army, then we
proclaim that the republican idea
is failure, and name is worth more
than brains. Fortunately this is a
matter in which the people cannot
be dictated to and controlled by the
politicians. The people, while they
retain their republican sentiments,
will refuse to recognize any advan-
tage in birth or name, but will in
sist that Bill Smith, born in a log
hut of insignificant parents, must
be accorded an equal show for his
brains with the son of an Adams,
Lincoln or a Grant.

water in her hand, and when the block was
lowered into place she poured the water
into the creviceS, where it almost instantly
became ice, and in less time than it takes to
tell it, the corner stone of the second palace
of ice ever built in the United States was
laid amidst cheers and shouts that shook
the night air blocks away. Mayor AmeS
was introduced by Mr.. MaXfeld, who, in
introducing him. said that he was one Of
the noblest men alive. The mayor said he
had come down in an official capacity from
THE LITTLE VILLAGE

corner stone which was just laid and had
found that it was cold. Last year he had

froze to death; this year he came down
and brought snow storm with him. Min
neapolis had an exposition and felt that she
was some pumpkins, and she was. All
their little jealouses were laid aside, and
the citizens of Minneapolis would come
down and help them celebrate their ice car
niyal as cheerfully as the citizens OF st.
Paul had helped Minneapolis celebrate her
exposition. The mayor said after st. Paul
| had given him such vote as she did, he
should be here every day.
Three cheers were sent up for G. R..
Finch and Aid Van Slyke. These gentle
men spoke few words of praise to the
clubs, as did D. r. Noyes and DR.. Muir
ply. A few minutes before 10 o'clock the
programme was finished and the clubs dis
missed. In fifteen minutes not soul was
in the carnival grounds, and the lights
shone as calmly over the stoical walls OF
the palace as though hundreds of rival
torches had not robbed them OF their bril-
liancy but few moments before.

night he came home about 10 o'clock, and
as he entered the house he saw a big rat.
TO seize the poker and go for it was the
work of an instant. and in the chase that
followed the rat rushed into the bedroom

but the numbers that turned out in rather
severe storm of wind and snow to witness
the rather monotonous exercises, surprised
the most sanguine carnival hustler. Ii
would hardly be an eXaggeration to state
that upwards of Is, 600 people were on the
streets and were interested spectators as the
beautifully uniformed clubs with their biaz-
ing torches marched past, winding through
the city to the palace of the Ice King. Inc
line of march was indicated by the shouts that
rent the air and the glare OF colored fire that
streamed up and painted the murky clouds
with startling hues. The music OF the
bands and the roll of the drums gave an
effect that was not given last season. and
one could easily imagine the army OF con-
Queror entering the city, Had the weather
been propitious undoubtedly great many
more people would have participated in the
exercises. The sharp wind driving the
fine snow through the air rendered outer
air existence exceedingly disagreeable.
The palace grounds were not Illuminated,
but as the head of the columEPMvanced
through the gate colored fire blaZed up and
shone through the transparent walls but as
they are hardly more than half finished the
effect was not as striking as it would have
been had the baStionS, turretS. battlements
and inches been completed. The outlines
of the palace are we'll defined. and the cen
ter tower is already built many feet above
the ground, but very meager idea can
be got of how the palace will appear when
finished from what can be seen of it now.
If the enthusiasm shown last night is an
indication of the popular feeling, the ice
carnival this season will be grand success.
